Transformation

Falling helplessly into a pool of crimson pride
Wanting to swim with a wound in my side
Body so drained from its mass
Eyes from silver to the reddest glass
I am changing in so many ways
Within the darkness where evil plays
No light behind these eyes of mine
My tattered heart so hard to find
Teeth hurt so by all the growing
What is happening its maddening not knowing
Transformation finally releasing
Try so hard and try resisting
This power too strong for me to hold
My heart so dry my veins so cold
Hair turned black as night from a dirty brown
My body still falling, falling so far down
This liquid around me
So refreshing what could it be?
Tis blood that is all around
No light no walls not even a sound
Alone in life’s loving drink
To where I am falling so hard to think
What am I becoming?
Please who are you relieve my numbing
Give me the strength so I may leave
This retched ploy I won’t deceive
You are my master my liege
Up my body my soul lay your siege
Let me be a loyal minion
It does not matter what is my decision
Please let this darkness fall
Give me the power to get rid of it all
Slowly I start to rise
I focus my eyes
Upon the new world of mine
I am all-powerful it shall be my time
To show my demons upon the night
I am now and forever will be the Crimson Knight
